Eye Disorders nearsightedness; the ability to see close objects but not distant ones; defect of the eye in which the refractive power of the cornea and lens is too great for the relative length of the eye; focal point is too near to the lens and image is focused in front of the retina; corrected by a concave lens that spreads out the light rays coming to the eye ...

- Volume 39/Number 1/2008 35 ABSTRACTBackground: Accommodative Insufficiency (AI) is a condition in which a patient has an inability to focus or sustain focus at near. Several management options are available including plus lenses for near, optometric vision therapy, and monitoring.he most frequently prescribed near add powers were +0.75D and +1.00D, with a range from +0.50D to +2.25D. (Figure 3) Conclusion This paper has shown that the most common treatment of accommodative insufficiency in an academic health center is prescribing a near addition power lens.

- The most common vision problems are refractive errors, more commonly known as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia. Refractive errors occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing directly on the retina.

Eye Exercises for Nearsightedness Also known as myopia, nearsightedness is usually rectified with a number of different methods. The most common methods are glasses and contact lenses and in some cases people even resort to eye surgery to fix the problem. However, a lot of people dismiss the idea of doing eye exercises for nearsightedness!

- Nearsightedness, or myopia, as it is medically termed, is a vision condition in which close objects are seen clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred. Nearsightedness occurs if the eyeball is too long or the cornea, the clear front cover of the eye, has too much curvature. As a result, the light entering the eye isn’t focused correctly and distant objects look blurred.

The Difference Between Farsightedness and Nearsightedness While farsightedness makes it difficult to see objects that are close-up, nearsightedness makes it difficult to see objects from a distance. Farsightedness is caused by an imperfection in the eye and is usually genetic. Nearsightedness can be caused by any number of factors and has many different degrees of severity.earsightedness does not mean that you’re able to see things that are near really well. Nearsightedness, or myopia (or shortsightedness), actually means that seeing things at a distance is difficult for you.

Hyperopia (Farsightedness) Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is a common vision problem, affecting about a fourth of the population. People with hyperopia can see distant objects very well, but have difficulty focusing on objects that are up close.arsightedness can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses to change the way light rays bend into the eyes. If your glasses or contact lens prescription begins with plus numbers, like +2.50, you are farsighted.

Visual Acuity Testing Near visual acuity is a measurement of how well you can see close objects. Usually measured at about 16 inches, it is a good way to measure your ability to cope with tasks such as reading or sewing. In most cases, near visual acuity is measured with both eyes open.

Learning More About: Nearsighted Nearsightedness: An Overview. Nearsighted (also called myopia) is a term to describe an eye condition that lets you clearly see objects that are near or close to you, while objects in the distance appear blurry or hazy.Nearsightedness happens in eyes that are incorrectly focusing images in front of the retina rather than directly on it.earsighted (also called myopia) is a term to describe an eye condition that lets you clearly see objects that are near or close to you, while objects in the distance appear blurry or hazy.

Presbyopia Presbyopia is a condition associated with aging of the eye that results in progressively worsening ability to focus clearly on close objects. Symptoms include a hard time reading small print, having to hold reading material farther away, headaches, and eyestrain.

Refractive error Near-sightedness is due to the length of the eyeball being too long, far-sightedness the eyeball too short, astigmatism the cornea being the wrong shape, and presbyopia aging of the lens of the eye such that it cannot change shape sufficiently. Some refractive errors are inherited from a person's parents. Diagnosis is by eye examination. Refractive errors are corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Eyeglasses are the easiest and safest method of correction.

Difference Between Near and Farsighted Nearsighted means that with your natural uncorrected vision, you can see closer or “nearer” and further out gets blurry. Nearsightedness or myopia is a refractive defect of the eye lens in which the image is formed in front of the retina not on it.This defect can have people seeing closer objects clearly while distant ones are blurred. Farsighted is simply the opposite.earsighted means that with your natural uncorrected vision, you can see closer or “nearer” and further out gets blurry.

The Genetics of Myopia The Genetics of Myopia. written by: Grace Ibay•edited by: Paul Arnold •updated: 3/12/2009. Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a condition in which the eye cannot focus on distant objects, and sometimes closer ones too. It is a common eye problem and one of the leading causes of vision loss around the world.

Short Sight Myopia The medical name for short-sightedness is myopia. Eyesight problems, such as myopia, are also known as refractive errors. Short sight leads to blurred distance vision, but close vision is usually normal. It is a very common problem that can be corrected by glasses or contact lenses, or cured with laser eye surgery.eople with short sight are not able to see distant objects clearly. Short sight or near sight mean exactly what the terms suggest. You are sighted (you can see), near (short) distance objects. Near objects (for example, when reading a book) can often be seen well.

Farsightedness: What Is Hyperopia? 10, 2014. Hyperopia (farsightedness), is a refractive error, which means that the eye does not bend or refract light properly to a single focus to see images clearly. In hyperopia, distant objects look somewhat clear, but close objects appear more blurred.

Common vision problems Farsightedness, also known as hyperopia, is a common type of refractive error where distant objects may be seen more clearly than objects that are near. However, people experience farsightedness differently. Some people may not notice any problems with their vision, especially when they are young. For people with significant farsightedness, vision can be blurry for objects at any distance, near or far. The cornea and lens bend (refract) incoming light rays so they focus behind the retina.
